Wearing a good pair of eyeglasses is as making-up. They not only protect your eyes and correct the refractive errors but also balance your face shape to make it look thinner and longer. They are able to enhance the beautiful parts of your face. An elegant and high-quality frame can give you different looks and make you more fashionable.
You might need to pay attention to certain aspects before choosing the suitable frame.
The tip is to find the complementary balance of your face shape and the frame of eyeglasses. For example, if you have a soft-line face shape, you might need to find the glasses that have sharp angles or that are with a bright color. As mentioned below, we have analyses and suggestions regarding different sorts of face shape.
It is important to choose a frame that suits your purpose of use. Therefore, finding a frame that meets your needs is the most important. For example, if a person having severe myopia needs lightweight and ultra-thin glasses for usually wearing, then the rim shall be smaller and it is important to position eyes in the middle of lenses. This is the best combination for the lightweight and ultra-thin glasses, but it might still have an impact on other choosing options. If a consumer has a low nasal bridge, then it is important to see if the frame is with the nose pads to prevent the eyeglasses from slipping or wearing glasses lower than the normal position.
Basically, the face shapes of human being are complicated and various. We only provide a basic group of different face shapes. The consumers still need to rethink before buying. For example, a round face shape has almost the same length and width, and the lines of forehead and the lines between cheek and jaw don't have evident angles. Therefore, the glasses with sharp angles can make the face look thinner and longer. Obvious nose pads of frame can also lengthen the distance of two eyes, which also makes the face thinner and longer.
Full frame, Semi-Rimless, Rimless
It is better to choose the suitable material of frame according to your needs. Please note that the same material can be divided into many quality levels and prices in accordance with the materials' proportion and processing procedures:
Follow the handy guide below to measure your glasses and make shopping easy!
Once you find your frame measurements, you can browse our selection, find the style you want, and order the perfect pair of glasses.
Just like clothes, eyewear has sizes, too! It is simple to order a perfectly fitting pair of eyeglasses at FitGasses.com. All you need to do is know what size of your frame is? XS/S/M/L/XL?
First, as you can see in the following picture, please put your old and perfectly fitting eyeglasses upside down, and measure the frame total width (measure the inner part of temples at the middle point). For example, the size is 130mm=13cm. So, your frame total width(E) is 130mm, which is your key size of your frame. As you keep it in mind, it is really easy to find and shop your suitable eyeglasses at FitGlasses.com.
(Note: In general, the temple of frame should be parallel and perfectly fitting.If the temple of frame are obviously expanding outward, you might adjust frame total width(E) by the fact how loose or tight you wear the glasses.
Secondly, you can go to FitGlasses.com product page and find the frame total width check box at the bottom of the fine search. Check what your size is and then the website will show those frames that suit your size perfectly.
● S, 130mm <= x <= 134mm
● M, 135mm <= x <= 139mm
● L, 140mm <= x <= 144mm
● XL, x >= 145mm
Usually, the frame total width can have a tolerance of 3mm difference, which means you can choose the frame width from 127mm to 133mm if your size is 130mm. You can check the frame detailed size at product page.
Of course, the more closer the size is, the more fit you will feel.
The fourth, besides the total frame width, there are more frame dimensions
that you can compare to your old and fitting eyeglasses.
By doing so, you will be able to image the glasses you shop online.
In general, you can find lens width, bridge width and temple(arms)
length at your inner part of temple arm. As you can see in the following pictures,
55 (mm) means lens width (A)
18 (mm) means bridge width (C)
140(mm) means temple (arms) length (D)
If any questions, please feel free to contact us firstname.lastname@example.com
If the rim of frame with prescriptions of bifocal Lenses (presbyopia)/ progressive lenses (presbyopia) is not high enough, the visual range will be decreased and the blind zone will be thus be increased. That is, these two prescriptions will need a frame with a certain height of rim to accompany with. Generally, it is better to be longer than 27 mm. But it needs to be adjusted according to the prescription, types of lens, the pupillary distance and the adaptability of the glasses-wearers.

Since opening on "The Drive" some six years ago, BierCraft Tap and Tapas has been wooing Vancouverites with the City's premiere selection of Belgian and Craft Beers, a mouth-watering menu, great service and exceptional value.
With over 50 years of restaurant experience between them, Dean Mallel and Don Farion opened Incendio, their first restaurant together, in 1996. Offering Vancouverites delicious hand made brick oven pizza and fresh pasta at a reasonable price, the Gastown location was followed by Kitsilano's Incendio West in October of 2001.
With the success of the Incendio restaurants, Dean and Don decided to share their love and passion for Belgian and craft beer and opened the first BierCraft location on Commercial Drive in June of 2005 – BierCraft Tap and Tapas. They quickly built a reputation as the place to find a great meal whilst enjoying beers from around the world, served with the care and attention they deserve. Seeing an opportunity to establish themselves in another great Vancouver neighbourhood, BierCraft Bistro was opened on Cambie Street in May of 2009. Expanding upon the tapas menu, BierCraft Bistro offers a menu featuring appetizers, main courses and desserts using fresh, seasonal and local ingredients, allowing them to maintain great quality at an exceptional value.
Dean and Don's passion for quality food and beer continue to drive them to improve and expand upon an already well established restaurant concept. They look forward to seeing you at any or all of the BierCraft locations.

MARLBOROUGH — Hundreds of people turned out for the first of a series of public meetings to discuss the dire state of the Marlboro School District's future Wednesday night.
MARLBOROUGH — Hundreds of people turned out for the first of a series of public meetings to discuss the dire state of the Marlboro School District's future Wednesday night.
No one had to be told the prognosis was not good. The district's residents, teachers and administrators are only too painfully aware that they face a future of severe program cutbacks, job losses and increased tax bills. They've known it for years; the district's former tax-paying golden goose, Dynegy, owner of the Danskammer and Roseton power plants, is in Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The Texas company's request to have its tax assessment cut by more than 90 percent could cost the district, the Town of Newburgh and Orange County $23 million in lost revenues.
The early part of Wednesday's meeting focused on how much money the district could save if it closed two of its three elementary schools.
District Superintendent Ray Castellani said that if both the Milton and Middle Hope elementary schools were closed, the district could save roughly $2 million. The closings would increase class sizes from roughly 21 students to about 32 per class.
Because Dynegy's bankruptcy case is still pending, Castellani said, the potential impact on district taxpayers could not yet be exactly determined. But he added that there was absolutely no doubt that taxes would increase. Between 40 and 50 teachers, administrators and staff members could lose their jobs by the end of the school year, he said.
"It's going to be painful all over," he said.
The crowd was quiet and attentive during Castellani's presentation. When he opened the meeting to questions, several comments won applause, including a suggestion that the district try to sell some of its empty acreage.
The school board was criticized several times for ignoring the problem over the years while spending "recklessly" on improvements. But the biggest round of applause came when a resident suggested that a different way of funding education be found.

New kids' gym turns gaming into exercise
DANBURY -- More than two decades ago, Dr. Randy Trowbridge realized that to help kids get physically fit, any exercise also needs to be fun.
As a result, Trowbridge, a rehabilitation physician, has developed TechXercise, a new gym concept that incorporates video games with physical fitness.
"I was on vacation in Ocean City and I saw a 12-year-old kid who was dripping with sweat after playing Dance (Dance) Revolution," Trowbridge said. "That's why I realized that we need to make exercise fun."
For the past three years, Trowbridge has been developing the system -- more than a dozen stations that members can use for two minutes each. The entire workout takes a little more than a half hour.
The stations include everything from Dance Dance Revolution to a moving climbing wall, a miniature mechanical bull, a martial arts training machine and an auto racing video game controlled by an exercise bike -- you have to pedal to make the car move.
While the fitness experience is for both young and old, Trowbridge hopes it will be particularly inviting to children, especially those who would rather play video games than hang out on the football field.
"We are trying to help sedentary kids who don't get a lot of exercise," he said. "You don't have to compete in sports to be healthy."
Although some child obesity rates are starting to decline, Dr. Raul Arguello, the head of pediatrics at Danbury Hospital, said Trowbridge's new concept can help address the problem.
Often, Arguello said, it can be very difficult to find exercise solutions for a young child with weight problems.
"Most gyms won't accept members until they are 16," he said. "And most gyms are not something that most children would enjoy. The idea is that if exercise is fun then its something you'll want to do. Trowbridge really is a visionary. I want to bring my own children."
Trowbridge said he hopes to open the gym soon, once he has 25 to 50 members signed up so he can pay the overhead for the facility. Children aged eight and up are eligible for the program.
"One of the benefits of the system is that the whole family can work out together," he said. "There aren't many other gyms out there where you can do that."
Trowbridge said if the program takes off, he'd like to see it packaged and sold as a franchise opportunity.
"It would be attractive to a lot of people who aren't comfortable in a traditional gym setting," he said. "The biggest problem with gyms is that they are boring. But if you are having fun you'll keep coming back."

Second, the networks almost never "call" truly competitive races on exit poll results alone. The decision desk analysts require very high statistical confidence (at least 99.5 percent) before they will consider calling a winner (the ordinary "margin of error" on pre-election polls typically uses a 95 percent confidence level). They usually only achieve that confidence for relatively close races after the exit pollsters obtain the actual vote results from the randomly selected precincts at which interviews were completed (and from other larger random samples of precincts) and combine all of the data into some very sophisticated statistical models.
Even then, if the models project that the leading candidates are separated by just a few percentage points, as pre-election polls suggest they will be in all of the key battleground states, the networks will usually wait until nearly all votes are counted to project a winner.
Third, the initial results of the exit poll interviews have had frequent problems with non-response bias, a consistent discrepancy favoring the Democrats that has appeared to some degree in every presidential election since 1988. Usually the bias is small, but in 2004 it was just big enough to convince millions of Americans who saw the leaked results on the Internet that John Kerry would defeat George W. Bush. It didn't work out that way.

When we saw that Ambrozia Bar + Bistro was one of the finalists in the Fire on the Rock Competition Dining Series we were surprised to learn that they were located right here in North Asheville. Why didn't we know about them? When they won the competition we had to find them and eat there! It turns out that Ambrozia is only about a year old and is tucked in a little unassuming strip mall. The location, on busy Merrimon Avenue, is in an area of Asheville that doesn't attract a lot of tourism, with its grocery stores and drug store chains. The space used to house a sandwich shop and they kept one unusual and interesting feature. The restaurant occupies two adjacent store-fronts, with one housing the restaurant and the other the kitchen. Glass shop windows give you a full view of the kitchen staff from the street. In the restaurant portion the shotgun layout, with a bar on one side and tables on the other. has been given new life with the addition of subtle lighting, glass and wood.
When we arrived for our reservation we were struck with how friendly the staff was and how they seemed to already know many of the other customers. It appears this gem of a restaurant was already a well-known secret to many North Asheville and Beaver Lake residents! The menu was eclectic and promising, focusing on fresh farm to table cuisine with many influences – Southern, Southwestern, Asian, Caribbean, all with a twist. When the first course arrived we knew we were in for a treat. Compressed watermelon and cantaloupe squares topped with a layer of feta cheese were lined up on a long plate and garnished with watercress, candied jalapeno jam with a vanilla bean vinaigrette. The Seared Elk Carpaccio had looked tempting too, but we couldn't imagine being happier than we were with the refreshing, salty sweet salad. My short rib special was perfectly tender and full of flavor.
The wine list was extensive and the beer list was even more impressive with our own local craft beers represented, but also craft brews from all over the country. The attentive, friendly service was equally impressive. There seemed to be an "ownership" feel permeating the staff. When I explored the restaurant's background I could see why. The chef/owner, Sam Etheridge relocated to Asheville from Albuquerque, NM, where he ran Ambrozia Café and Wine Bar and Nob Hill Bar and Grill. When he relocated several of the staff members from his previous restaurants came with him and together with some stellar additions from the Asheville area they have created a restaurant that tastes good and feels good. Congratulations Sam!

Golden Minerals Announces 2013 Operating Plan
Feb 12, 2013, 22:55 ET
GOLDEN, Colo., Feb. 12, 2013 /CNW/ - Golden Minerals Company (NYSE MKT: AUMN;TSX: AUM) ("Golden Minerals" or "the Company") today provided a summary of its 2013 operating plan, projecting increased production in 2013 and positive gross margin at the Velardena Operations commencing in the third quarter, and of its program to define longer term operating and expansion plans for Velardena. The Company also announced its intent to solicit a partner to advance its El Quevar property in Salta, Argentina and to reduce El Quevar holding costs.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120803/LA52082LOGO)
Velardena 2012 payable production totaled approximately 780,000 payable silver equivalent (AgEq) ounces, or an average 195,000 AgEq ounces per quarter. Payable silver equivalent ounces include only payable gold (at a 50:1 ratio to silver) plus payable silver and exclude lead and zinc. Velardena's average quarterly production in 2012 is about 60 percent greater than the 122,000 AgEq ounces of sold production reported for the second quarter 2011, the final reporting period prior to Golden's acquisition of the property in September 2011.
The Company anticipates 2013 payable production of about one million AgEq ounces, almost 30 percent greater than 2012 payable production. The Company also expects to produce approximately 4 million pounds of combined payable lead and zinc in 2013. The Company expects a substantial 80 percent increase in payable silver in 2013, combined with an approximate 30 percent decrease in gold production. Forecasted improvement in silver output is a result of increased grade due primarily to improved longitudinal vein dilution control and to improved recoveries resulting from the late 2012 addition of a flotation circuit ahead of the leach circuit in the oxide plant. The flotation circuit is currently operating and producing a lead concentrate averaging between 15 to 20 kilograms (480 to 640 ounces) of silver per tonne. The forecasted decrease in gold production is primarily the result of reduced gold recoveries in the current plant configuration from material mined from new areas which appears to have a different gold metallurgy than material previously mined. The Company has initiated a testing program to address gold recovery, discussed further under Mine Development and Operations below.
The Company anticipates a steady ramp-up in silver equivalent production during 2013, and preliminary results from January 2013 operations are consistent with these expectations.
The Company will continue to advance the San Mateo ramp during 2013, with completion of the ramp now expected during the third quarter 2013, moved forward from the previously communicated fourth quarter 2013 estimate. Approximately 1.5 kilometers of the ramp have been completed, with less than 0.5 kilometers remaining to reach the productive Santa Juana mining unit. Completion of the ramp will permit ore removal by 30-ton trucks, rather than by the existing interior hoisting system that is capped at 300 tonnes per day, and should permit the Company to increase output as the mine develops. The ramp has already provided access to the Terneras and San Mateo veins and when completed will provide more efficient and less costly ore haulage from the Santa Juana veins.
A significant portion of the gold in Velardena ores occurs encapsulated in pyrite mineralization which requires oxidation of the pyrites to permit increased gold recovery. Testing continues on an Albion oxidation process and on an autoclave process to improve gold recoveries. Initial test work for the Albion process is encouraging, and the Company believes that installation of an Albion oxidation circuit for recovery of the gold bearing pyrites would require significantly less capital than would an autoclave. Additional testing is required to confirm the potential of the Albion process, and the Company has sent more sample material to Australia to confirm initial test results and to permit the development of engineering parameters and a preliminary construction budget.
The Company has also shipped a 300 kilogram sample of tails from the oxide plant to a U.S. testing facility to evaluate whether the addition of a Knelson gravity gold/pyrite recovery circuit could improve gold recoveries at the oxide plant. This type of circuit may also enhance gold recovery at the sulfide plant. If the tests are successful, Knelson concentrators could be installed later in 2013.
The Company anticipates approximately $7.0 million in capital expenditures at Velardena in 2013, with approximately half of that amount spent on mine development including the San Mateo ramp. With the current and advancing development of the San Mateo ramp, the Company is now able to position diamond drills to penetrate the Santa Juana area beneath current mining. Drilling is also ongoing in the Chicago mining unit in an attempt to define oxide tonnes for the oxide plant leaching circuit. In addition, the Company continues work to optimize mine plans and plant performance.
The Company believes that the process test work and underground drill program described above should provide the basis for better planning and evaluation of expansion options later in the year.
Recent drilling at El Quevar (see the Company's January 25, 2013 press release) supports the Company's view that El Quevar may be an evolving new silver district. Drilling identified silver mineralization approximately one kilometer east and on strike with the Yaxtche resource, and identified a possible extension of the Norte zone, 500 meters east of previous drilling. The Norte zone is parallel in strike to Yaxtche and is five kilometers to the north. In order to advance El Quevar, the Company will solicit a partner to move the project forward with additional drilling in these areas, drilling in other potential areas and evaluations.
The Company will focus on attaining positive cash flow from the Velardena Operations, and expects the Velardena Operations to become gross margin positive in the third quarter 2013, assuming current gold and silver prices.
The Company's cash position is currently sufficient for the Company to carry out its 2013 operating plan, with a projected cash balance at the end of 2013 of approximately $24 million.

Wulffman is a program for interactively examining the Wulff shapes of crystals with specified symmetries. The Wulff shape is the shape that possesses the lowest surface energy for a fixed volume, and hence represents the ideal shape that the crystal would take in the absence of other constraints. For a periodic crystal, i.e., one that can be generated by periodic repetition of a simple unit cell , the Wulff shape must be consistent with the crystallographic point group symmetry of the underlying crystal. The point group is simply the set of all point isometries (rotations, roto-inversions, and reflections) that leave the environment around a point unchanged. In the most general case, the Wulff shape will be a convex polyhedron whose faces (facets) correspond to crystal planes that are low in energy. In some cases, Wulff shapes appear in more complex circumstances. For example, a precipitate at an interphase grain boundary in a material will in many cases have a shape that corresponds to a combination of the Wulff shapes for the pure materials on either side of the boundary. The Wulff shape in these cases is the intersection of two Wulff shapes that may or may not have displaced origins and rotated reference frames (coordinate systems). Wulffman possesses the capability to construct intersections of an arbitrary number of Wulff shapes, each of which can have a different symmetry, origin, and orientation of coordinates. Wulffman requires the point group symmetry of a crystal (or crystals) of interest, a set of crystal planes (facets) for each symmetry, and their respective surface energies. From this information, Wulffman constructs the Wulff shape and sends its output to Geomview , a 3-D visualization tool. Surface energies can be changed at will, and Wulffman reconstructs the lowest energy polyhedron. In this manner, the user can directly and easily visualize the effects of surface energy anisotropy on the equilibrium forms of crystals.

Remarks by Martin J. Gruenberg, Chairman, FDIC to the
2013 ICBA National Convention, Las Vegas, Nevada
It is a pleasure to be with you today at the 2013 ICBA National Convention. In my remarks today, I thought I would focus on two important topics. The first is the current financial condition of the banking industry as reflected in our recent Quarterly Banking Profile. And second, I wanted to report to you some of the results of the FDIC's community banking initiatives conducted over the past year.
The U.S. Banking Industry Continues to Recover
Let me start with the condition of the industry.
We have now seen three consecutive years of gradual but steady improvement in the financial condition of the banking industry in the United States following the financial crisis. Industry net income has now increased on a year-over-year basis for 14 consecutive quarters. Annual income for the industry in 2012 was just over $141 billion – the highest level of annual earnings since 2006 and the second highest ever.
We now have seen 10 consecutive quarters of improving credit quality for the industry. Delinquent loans and charge-offs have been steadily coming down now for over two years. Importantly, loan balances for the industry as a whole have now grown for six out of the last seven quarters. In the fourth quarter of last year, loans grew by nearly $120 billion. The largest single category for growth was in commercial and industrial lending, but we also saw increases in consumer loans, farm loans, and even real estate loans. These positive trends have been broadly shared across the industry, among large institutions, mid-size institutions, and community banks. So I think it is fair to say that we continue to see a gradual but steady recovery in the U.S. banking industry that has now been sustained over three years.
The internal indicators for the FDIC also have been moving in a positive direction over this period. We had 51 banks fail in the United States last year, down from 92 failures in 2011 and 157 in 2010. If present trends hold, it is likely that we're going to see substantially fewer bank failures this year. The problem bank list at the FDIC – institutions that had our lowest supervisory CAMELS ratings of 4 or 5 – peaked in March of 2011 at 888 institutions. By the end of last year the number of problem banks had fallen to 651, which marks another substantial improvement.
Meanwhile, the Deposit Insurance Fund, which was more than $20 billion in the red at its low point just three years ago, is now almost $33 billion in the black. By law, the FDIC is required to build up the reserve ratio for the Deposit Insurance Fund to 1.35 percent of insured deposits by 2020. We are now at over 0.4 percent, and we are very much on track to meet this statutory requirement.
When I mention the progress that has been made, I frequently get the question, "So, when will we be able to reduce deposit insurance premiums?" The bad news is that premiums will probably not be coming down anytime soon, because we still have a significant way to go to build up the fund to meet our statutory requirement.
But the good news is that we also don't anticipate the need for any assessment increases either. Taken together, I think it is fair to say this is a positive story for the banking industry as a whole. It reflects the work that the industry has done over the past three years in terms of strengthening capital and liquidity positions and the structure of balance sheets, so that banks are in a stronger position to serve the needs of borrowers.
Digging out of the aftermath of the financial crisis we went through, followed by the deepest recession since World War II, has been an enormous challenge for the banking industry. The economic recovery, I think it is fair to say, has been slow and modest thus far, with economic growth right around the two percent mark.
Our sense is that if we can maintain even that modest level of growth, the industry will continue to work its way out of the aftermath of this crisis and the ensuing recession. We still have elevated levels of problem loans and problem banks here in the U.S., and more work to do in repairing balance sheets, but we have now sustained a positive direction for an extended period of time. I think the improvement in bank balance sheets points to the real possibility of a more virtuous cycle for the financial system going forward.
FDIC Community Banking Initiatives
I would like to devote the balance of my remarks to the efforts we have undertaken at the FDIC over the past year or so to focus on the important role of – and particular challenges faced by – community banks.
Over the past few years, a great deal of attention has been placed on the large, complex financial institutions that really were at the heart of the crisis. But the crisis and the recession have clearly had significant consequences for community banks that are still very much in evidence. As the lead federal supervisor for the majority of community banks in the United States, we at the FDIC felt we had a particular responsibility coming out of the crisis not just to carry out our supervisory responsibilities, but to try to take a careful look at what's happened to community banks in the United States over the longer term and the role they play in our financial system. I would like to share with you what we have been doing on this issue both in terms of research and from a supervisory perspective.
First, not enough good research has been done on community banking issues. We surveyed the work that has been done on community banks over the years, and found that there really was no comprehensive study of the sector covering the last 25 years or so. This type of research is essential, in my view, to formulating policies that are well-informed as to the particular challenges community banks have faced and the trends that will shape the sector in coming years.
Our Research Division assembled 27 years of banking data and developed a new research definition of the community bank that is based not just on size but on the characteristics that define community banking, namely: traditional relationship lending, reliance on stable core deposit funding, and a focus on a limited geographic community. By these standards, most banks with under $1 billion in assets do indeed qualify as community banks. But we also found another 330 institutions with assets between $1 and $10 billion that also met our community bank definition in 2011.
Our study, our data and our definitions are all available on fdic.gov, and we hope that other researchers will make use of them and extend this work further in the years ahead. Today, I would like to share with you what I see as some of the most important findings of the study.
Community banks made up about 14 percent of U.S. banking assets in 2011, but held 46 percent of all the small loans to businesses and farms made by FDIC-insured institutions. What this tells you is that community banks play a role in our financial system that actually has consequence far beyond their share of total industry assets. By its nature, small business lending is often labor-intensive and highly customized, which is the kind of lending that community banks really are set up to do. By contrast, the very largest institutions are generally are not so interested in such a customized approach, and are looking to provide more standardized products that they can offer on a larger scale.
So it's really not at all clear whether U.S. small businesses would have sufficient access to the type of credit they need if there were not a strong community banking sector to fill this critical niche in our financial system. And that has implications not just for the banking system, but for the economy and job creation as a whole.
It's really a critical point that I think has not been well appreciated.
The study also found that of the more than 3,200 counties in the United States, more than 600 of them – almost 20 percent of the total – have no FDIC-insured banking offices except those operated by community banks. There are literally thousands of communities across the country – in rural areas, small towns and urban neighborhoods – which would have no access to an FDIC insured bank but for community banks.
So from the standpoint of both filling a critical niche in our financial system and providing access to mainstream financial services in communities all over our country, community banks are in some measure irreplaceable. There is an important public interest from the FDIC's perspective in having a strong, vital community banking sector in the U.S. financial system. These initial findings lead naturally to another question that many community bankers have been asking, and that is: What will be the future for community banks in the United States? Will the pressures of competition, particularly from the larger institutions, and the pressures for consolidation be so great that community banks will be unable to continue carrying out their traditional role in our financial system and economy?
These are questions we looked at closely, and I would like to share three basic findings with you. By any measure, we still have a very substantial community banking sector in the United States. Community banks continued to make up around 92 percent of all FDIC-insured institutions as of 2011, up from 87 percent in 1984.
Six out of every seven of these community banks have assets less than $500 million.
Despite the historic challenges they have faced as a result of the recent crisis, the vast majority of community banks came through this crisis in pretty good shape. We have also learned a great deal about business models that proved highly vulnerable to the stresses of the crisis, and those that held up under the stress.
The FDIC Inspector General conducts a material loss review for every failed bank, which it delivers to the FDIC Board and ultimately makes available to the public. When the FDIC Board asked the IG to go back and identify key attributes of institutions that failed during the crisis, his report cited three common factors:
These factors were cited in failing bank cases that came before the FDIC Board throughout the crisis.
What's striking is that these are not characteristics that generally reflect how community banks in the United States do business. The fact is that most community banks engage in careful, generally conservative, relationship lending; generally rely heavily on stable core deposits; know their customers well; and manage their business very carefully. Thousands of institutions that followed this basic approach came through this episode in reasonably good shape.
As for the post-crisis period, there are those who are suggesting that smaller institutions will not be able to make it, and will be forced to merge in order to achieve economies of scale and remain competitive. Our study didn't find much evidence to support that contention.
Our analysts found that while average costs generally declined as size increased, most of these economies of scale were already realized once the institution reached a size of $100 to $300 million or so, depending on its lending specialty. This finding is consistent with the experience of FDIC bank supervisors in the field, who have found that community banks can be viable at virtually any size so long as they build stable business relationships and stick to their local markets and areas of lending expertise.
None of this is meant to deny that fact that the industry has experienced enormous consolidation over the past 25 years, and that consolidation will likely continue in the future. But it is also important to look at the forces that drove this historic consolidation, and ask how important they might be going forward. Around half of the institutions that left the industry during the study period did so via voluntary mergers. The other half were almost entirely made up of failures and intra-company consolidations within existing holding companies.
To the extent that most of the failures took place during the two major banking crises of the past 27 years, it is clear that safe and sound banking will be essential to limiting the future pace of industry consolidation. In addition, it seems clear that the wave of voluntary combinations that drove consolidation over the past 25 years was related in significant measure to the relaxation of restrictions on intrastate branching and interstate banking that took place before 1995. Before that time, unit banking laws in some states and restrictions on the ability to branch across state lines resulted in an artificially high number of bank charters, which were in many cases essentially run as branches within the holding company structure.
With the elimination of branching restrictions in the 1980s and early 1990s, and with the Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994, consolidation of banking charters was sure to take place.
And it did. Between 1984 and 2011, the total number of federally-insured bank and thrift charters declined by 59 percent. But the thing to keep in mind is that the one-time statutory changes that spurred a significant portion of that consolidation are now well behind us. Most of the consolidation that will result from those changes has already taken place.
It seems to me that if we could manage to run our financial system over the next 20 years so that we have fewer crises and fewer failures, the pace of consolidation over the coming decade or two may not be nearly as fast as we've seen over the past 20 years, particularly in the community bank model. And we think that the basic business model that community banks adhere to remains not only viable but also quite critical to the functioning of the banking system in the United States.
Supervisory Initiatives
We continued our ongoing dialogue with the FDIC Community Bank Advisory Committee, and conducted roundtable discussions with community bankers in each of the FDIC's six supervisory regions across the country. We undertook an Examination and Rulemaking Review with the goal of identifying ways to make the supervisory process more efficient, consistent, and transparent. We initiated a Regulatory Calendar on the FDIC website to alert stakeholders to critical information as well as comment and compliance deadlines relating to changes in federal banking laws and regulations. The Calendar includes notices of proposed, interim and final rulemakings, as well as guidance affecting insured financial institutions.
In response to concerns about pre- and post-examination processes, FDIC supervisors developed a web-based tool that generates a pre-examination document and information request tailored to a specific institution's operations and business lines. We're also improving how information is shared electronically between bankers and examiners.
Supervisory staff conducted outreach sessions during the year to provide technical training and opportunities for discussion on subjects of interest to community bankers. One example is the Director and Banker Colleges hosted in each region. These Colleges are held in conjunction with state trade associations, and address topics of critical interest to community bankers
I refer you to our web page on the FDIC Community Banking Initiative for a more complete summary of our activities in this area. One of the areas emphasized by bankers is technical assistance. We are planning several initiatives in this regards that we will announce later this year.
In conclusion, I would like to make two points. The banking industry has now had a sustained recovery over the past three years and there is reason to believe it will continue. We believe that the community banking model remains quite viable and there will be a strong community banking sector in the U.S. financial system for the foreseeable future.

Final Fantasy XV looks to be a different-style entry for the series. That was originally the point when the game was still Final Fantasy Versus XIII. Even designer Tetsuya Nomura acknowledges that "Final Fantasy XV is the first action RPG in the series' numbered titles," but that doesn't mean it's not Final Fantasy.
In a recent interview with Famitsu, Nomura talked about the game—and perhaps most importantly, what makes the title seem like Final Fantasy. However, there are key differences. Important differences. For example, in the past, there were many pre-rendered cutscenes, but now, thanks to the next generation game hardware, they're able to render the elaborate cutscenes in real time.
The gameplay looks different for a numeric FF title. "The concept of FFXV's battle system is to make fights as seamless as possible and to change characters from situation to situation," Nomura explains. Continuing, he adds that each character has a particular strength that players can use to their advantage.
Traditionally, Final Fantasy games show numeric values when players attack enemies. Even though Final Fantasy XV is in a new style compared to other numbered Final Fantasy games, it will continue this tradition. "If [the numeric values] disappeared, I don't think it would be very Final Fantasy."
"You fight with your action technique while thinking about the numeric values," says Nomura. "These two types probably don't co-exist in other action-type battles."
FFXV uses the Fabula Nova Crystallis mythos, which appeared in Final Fantasy XIII and Final Fantasy Type-0, as its foundation, but the game takes place in "an original world." This, of course, should be evident by the game's trailer.
According to Nomura, "The story is simple: an enemy nation steals the crystal, and the protagonists must get it back. Amidst that, human relations intersect, expanding into a Final Fantasy-style tale."
Even if the game looks to be the kind of character-based epic Final Fantasy fans have come to enjoy, Nomura is already thinking of ways to enable players to enjoy that in a new way for the console games.
"I want to think about doing something between portable devices [and Final Fantasy XV]," says Nomura.
"Since nowadays it's hard to sit and play in front of stationary console for long periods of time, I think something's necessary so that even when you are out, you can experience the world of Final Fantasy XV."
Final Fantasy XV is slated for the PS4 and the Xbox One. It currently does not have a release date.

Ed. Dept. to Closely Monitor Subgroups in NCLB Waiver States
With 11 states now freed from some parts of the No Child Left Behind Act, and another round of states readying their waiver applications, the U.S. Department of Education has turned to perhaps the most important part of the process: holding states to their new accountability promises.
To that end, the department is beginning to outline what it expects of states that have won this flexibility, issuing implementation letters that vary slightly by state and convey some important messages.
- Subgroup accountability, a big point of contention among states, the feds, and civil rights' groups, will be a chief focus of monitoring for the department. In the implementation letters to most states, the department says it will make sure the states are providing "transparency" around subgroup performance—especially in states that are using a "super-subgroup." It's also watching how Tennessee approves new "annual measurable objectives" (or AMOs), and how New Jersey and Georgia are implementing their new, not-yet-final grading systems.
- Federal monitoring will begin before the start of the 2012-13 school year.
- States can request changes in their waiver plans. Just as in Race to the Top, the department plans to have a formal amendment process for states. These amendments will be important to watch, as we've seen Race to the Top states use that process to delay implementation and scale back promises.
- While states are no longer required to offer tutoring and choice as under NCLB, the department makes clear that per another section of the law that hasn't been waived, school districts have to allow students to stay in a choice school through that school's highest grade. States are encouraged (though not required—an important distinction) to still provide transportation to those schools.
- The department wants states to continue to consult with stakeholders, namely teachers' unions, as they implement their plans. Collaboration was a make-or-break part of the original application process. But how the department will enforce this now that the flexibility is already out of the barn is a whole 'nother matter.
- The department outlines its authority to terminate a waiver if a state, or a "significant number" of its school districts, fail to implement the plan or file required reports.

A traditional gem on the slope of mount Mainalo
Sliding on the gorge of river Loussios and in the fir forest of Mainalo, there is the traditional settlement of Stemnitsa. Apart from the natural beauty and the fascinating history, the area is well-known for its silversmiths and goldsmiths too, who yearningly make rings, crosses, brooches, kitchenware for domestic use, silver icons and candlesticks for the churches.
A story of two thriving centuries of fine art (1700-1900) is told by the Folklore Museum of Stemnitsa, the source of inspiration for the students of the School of Silversmithery and Goldsmithery of the village. Here, the knowledge and the artistry of the old come to an artful wedding with the fresh ideas and the imagination of the young to dynamically boost hand-made jewellery into the 21st century.

McDonald's, Sodexo Clinch Deals on Sustainable Seafood
The sustainable seafood movement landed two big catches this week with an eco-labeling commitment from McDonald's for Filet-o-Fish sold in Europe and a pledge from foodservices giant Sodexo to promote the Marine Stewardship Council's standards for seafood in worldwide operations.
The companies and the Marine Stewardship Council announced the developments in connection with World Oceans Day, which was observed on Wednesday.
Starting in October, the wrappers for McDonald's Filet-O-Fish sandwiches and fish fingers (which are like fish sticks) that are sold in Europe will bear the blue seal of the Marine Stewardship Council.
The label signals that the whitefish used for the menu items came from only fisheries that have received the council's sustainability certification, which speaks to how the areas are managed and how the fish that comes from them are reared or caught.
In a nod to the demands of a market that has heavily scrutinized McDonald's sourcing and environmental impacts, the labeling practice will apply to McDonald's 7,000 restaurants in 39 European countries. It represents the largest commitment of its kind in Europe, according to the company and the Marine Stewardship Council.
McDonald's sold about 100 million portions of Filet-o-Fish products in Europe last year. Figures were not immediately available to show how that volume compares to the amount of Filet-o-Fish sold in the U.S. and elsewhere around the world. In terms of sustainability, the whitefish McDonald's uses to make Filet-o-Fish in all its markets must meet the company's standards for responsible seafood sourcing, said Lisa McComb, McDonald's senior manager for global media relations.
In the United States, 100 percent of the whitefish used comes from MSC-certified fisheries, McComb said. Globally, more than 90 percent of the whitefish used by McDonald's can be sourced to fisheries certified by the council, and the balance of whitefish comes from fisheries that meet the company's seafood sourcing standards, which are comparable to MSC's, she said.
So what'll be the difference between the sustainability of the whitefish in a Filet-o-Fish sandwich sold in San Francisco and one sold in Europe?
Come this fall, just the eco-label, apparently.
"We're letting the consumers in Europe, who very much care about this, that the fisheries our suppliers buy from are 100 percent MSC certified," said McComb. "In the U.S., the same reality exists, but at this time we are not actually going so far as to put the label on the packaging." However, should market sensitivities in the U.S. change, the practice may be revisited, she said. Bottom line, she added, "to us, what's most important is the sustainability of the fish."
Why October for the eco-label rollout? Among other things, that's when the company estimates that it will have gone through its current packaging supplies for Filet-o-Fish products in Europe. "Throwing them out would be irresponsible," McComb said.
The company's stance on sustainable fish is part of a broader campaign on food sourcing and supply chain responsibility. In March, McDonald's detailed plans to move to more sustainable meat, coffee and packaging in its Sustainable Land Management Commitment.
Like McDonald's, Sodexo also is trying to integrate sustainability through its global operations.
In February, Sodexo announced a commitment to use only sustainably certified seafood by 2015. The company said that means 100 percent of the fresh and frozen it gets from contracted vendors will have to meet Marine Stewardship Council or Best Aquaculture Practices standards.
The agreement with MSC is the latest expansion of Sodexo's sustainable seafood strategy. The pledge pertains to wild caught fish and, the company said, is aimed at:
- Promoting MSC-certified seafood in the 80 countries where the firm does business.
- Maximizing client and consumer awareness and collaboration regarding the issue of sustainable seafood.
The commitment is an industry first, Sodexo and MSC said.

Took it to our pot luck and didn't even come back with crumbs. I made the dough in my bread machine and I used pecans since I didn't have walnuts on hand. I bought a baby food jar of apple juice and I have 90% still left so I think I'd use milk or maybe rum :) next time for the glaze.
Dec 30, 2011
Made a special addition to Christmas breakfast. Made the dough up to adding it to the pan and froze for a few days ahead. Took it out of the freezer and let it thaw on the drive over to my mom's house. Kept in the refrigerator overnight and baked the next morning. Worked just fine! Also, I was hesitant to bake with reduced fat butter so I substituted half butter and half Smart Balance. A bit healthier and tasted just like Grandma used to make. Also substituted fat free milk for the cider in the icing, but that was mainly because that was all that was on hand at my mom's.

Good Bread. Mine did not rise in the amount of time specified. I needed to allow to rise longer. I made it into 3 smaller loaves.

This receipe is OUTSTANDING! I have friends saying they will pay me to make them a loaf. :-)

I'm So HAPPY with this necklace!
A truly beautiful simple piece that goes with absolutely everything.
High quality, great price and was delivered within 2 days of purchase.
I highly recommend this necklace and Patiche. I will be purchasing more products in future.
Very impressed with delivery time. Even more impressed with the packaging and the beautiful earrings inside.
These earrings are awesome and so stylish.
Can wear them casual or dressy
Wind Chime Necklace
Love these Aztec Earrings with the stainless steel and black patterning - makes them look like real antique silver.
Beautiful Pastiche quality and a great size...not too big or small. Another very satisfied purchase.
I've purchase a lot of Pastiche earrings for myself and for gifts and the quality of both the plated 925 silver and stainless steel is excellent. These dangly Silver Shadows earrings are Sterling Silver and sit beautifully with my shoulder length hair. I added a little silicone stopper at the back to make sure I don't lose them when I go swimming.
Love the hoops but they become unclipped so easily. I am scared I will loose them or the little attachment
Service is amazing as per past experience, my order arrived in very quick time, within 48 hours of my ordering. I love the ring & have had a couple of comments about it.
Love love my necklace 😍 opened up the box and was so surprised how lovely it is in person. Super fast shipping to I ordered it the day before in the arvo had it in my hand the next day
Beautiful earrings, always impressed by the quality and design of Pastiche products. I ordered these to be sent overseas as a surprise gift. At times when we cannot see our friends and family making a special gift like this can really make someone's day, and it did.
The Lucky One Necklace
I love the bangle & the service was excellent. My order arrived in very quick time free delivery, I think I ordered it on a Wednesday afternoon & the order arrived on the Friday.
Sit flat against the ear, not too heavy, very pretty and well made
This company is an absolute pleasure to do business with. Their products never disappoint.

When I was the wee-est of girls, growing up on the prairies of Minnesota, my Scandinavian Grandfather would make this each and every year for Thanksgiving and Christmas. For me, it didn't matter what else was on the table, for THIS dish is the ONLY one I wanted to eat! Then, sadly, time passes, you move away from home, don't have time to come back except for weddings and funerals, and too late you remember with fondness a cherished dish whose recipe disappeared with the person.I've read tons of recipes for "Scalloped Corn" as we used to call it (and as the other reviewer mentioned, too) but they were all so changed and adulterated from what I remember. Meaning NO DISRESPECT to the other reviewer but the classic version of this recipe is the one printed or if you want to go further back in time, your corn became "creamed" when you cut it from the cob. I would no more stick bacon, peppers and such in this dish than I'd change my Gran's pumpkin pie recipe by adding nuts or chocolate to it! Both the taste and texture of this dish were so memorable for the sheer simplicity, silky texture and the fact that CORN was the featured taste. From Pillsbury to Betty Crocker, I could read that their recipes were NOT what I was looking for. Then, on the same day that I found THIS recipe on the web, I found the identical recipe in a 1946 Lutheran Church cookbook, so I knew it had to be the one. Bless You, Taste of Home, for publishing this recipe and bringing memories back to me of my childhood. And Viva La Difference to all folks that need to add to this dish to call it their own. :)

As the Wizard said upon meeting Dorothy, "Why I'm a Kansas man myself. Born and bred in the heart of the West..." Though the Wiz had his geography mixed up, there's no mixing up the fact that we plains folk love corn. And this 1854 Kansas corn pudding recipe is right on target, though it is affectionately, and like the Wizard incorrectly, called 'scalloped corn in our clan.If you're like me, I can't leave anything alone in the kitchen without doctorin' it up a bit. And the thought of just adding a single can of cream-style corn leaves me as cold as an blast from an Arctic Express wind. We love adding fresh corn cut close to the cob or at least add a can of whole kernel. Depending upon what's in our kitchen at the time, we'd dice up some pepper(any color will do), onions, some bacon and quickly saute it in a pan to give it all a head start cooking. If you got some cheese, shred some of that and throw it in the mix or add it on top before serving. Ain't it a shame to think of all that corn making fuel for gasohol, when it could be put to some many better uses, like corn pudding, scalloped corn and some fine mash.
